Child development; Child psychology
_abneiden_ for abschneiden (cut off).
_hirn_ " Stirn (forehead).
_verbrochen_ " versprochen (promised).
_lagn_ " schlagen (strike).
_runtergeluckt_ " heruntergeschluckt (swallowed).
_einteign_ " einsteigen (get in).
On the other hand, _aus-teign_ (Aussteigen) (alight).
Other defects of articulation are shown by the following examples:
_topf_ for klopfen (knock).
_ueffte_ " lueften (take the air).
_leben_ " kleben (adhere).
_viloa, viloja,_ " Viola.
_dummi_ " Gummi (gum).
The _l mouille_ can not be at all successfully given at the beginning of
this month (_bat[)e]l[=o]n_ for "bataillon"), and the nasal sounds in
"orange" and "salon" offer insuperable difficulties (up to the second
half of the fourth year). At the end of this month, however, I heard a
_ganzee bataljohn_ (_j_ like English _y_). "Orange" continued to be,
after _oraanjee_ had been given up, _orohs[)e]_. The softening
(mouilliren--_nj_ = _n_) was inconvenient in this case.
Quite correctly named at this period were eye, nose, cheek, tongue,
mouth, ear, beard, hair, arm, thumb, finger.
Meaningless chatter has become much more rare. On the other hand, the
child is in the habit of making all sorts of remarks, especially in the
morning early after waking, for a quarter of an hour at a time and
longer without interruption, these remarks for the most part consisting
of a noun and verb and relating to objects immediately about him.
Monologues also are given in a singing voice, syllables without meaning,
often a regular singing, the child meantime running many times around
the table; besides, his strong voice is not seldom practiced in
producing high tones without any outward occasion; and, finally, it is
worthy of note that sometimes in sleep, evidently when the child has a
vivid dream, a scream is uttered. Talking in his sleep first appeared in
his fourth year.
